I'm in favor of the new group. It's not going to split anything; there
are numerous local food-discussion newsgroups in the US, and probably
elsewhere.

Note: There's a set of newsgroups devoted to nostalgia about rock
music, beginning with alt.culture.us.1960s and going up through the
decades. If I recall correctly, alt.culture.us.1990s was created in
1995. There were people whose high school years were just a bit too
late for alt.culture.us.1980s, and already they were noticing that
today's kids didn't appreciate _real_ music.

I asked a rock musician what the golden age of rock was, and he
estimated it as sixteen.
